Vanderwaltozyma is a genus of ascomycetous yeasts in the family Saccharomycetaceae.
The genus name is in honour of Johannes P. van der Walt (1925-2011), a South African mycologist who first described Vanderwaltozyma polyspora and Vanderwaltozyma yarrowii (in the Kluyveromyces genus). The genus was circumscribed by Cletus P. Kurtzman in 2003.
